Yichang City Government: coal mines do not have the ability to prevent sudden shutdown

The “8·23” Changyang Chenjiaping coal mine gas outburst caused 6 deaths and 9 tragedies. Yesterday, the Yichang Municipal Government issued an emergency notice on coal mine safety production. Coal mines that have coal and gas outburst risks but do not have the ability to prevent sudden outbreaks must be resolutely shut down in accordance with the law. At the same time, the "four-in-one" crackdown on coal mines is illegally illegally produced.

The notice pointed out that the city’s coal and gas outburst mines must strictly implement the “Prevention of Coal and Gas Outburst Regulations”, and all mining activities must not be carried out if the outbreak prevention measures are not implemented or are not implemented. Mining mines with gas dynamics or coal seams that are dangerously prone to coal seams must be identified for coal and gas outburst hazards. Mines identified as outburst coal seams must be specially designed for anti-embezzlement and reviewed and accepted by local authorities. Coal mines that have the danger of coal and gas outburst but do not have the ability to prevent sudden outbreaks must be resolutely shut down according to law.

The municipal government requires that the coal mine illegally violates the laws and regulations on production and business operations in order to achieve “four ones.” First, the illegal production and construction and the suspension of production and rectification have yet to meet the requirements. All of them must be closed down; the second is illegal and illegal production and construction. Responsible persons shall be punished according to the stipulated upper limit for economic punishment. Third, all units that have violated the laws and regulations for production and construction shall be ordered to suspend production for rectification. Fourth, all units and personnel who violate the law shall be strictly investigated for legal responsibility.
